So we have rolled up to our 1st birthday of Ouse events, in the short space of a year we have managed to bring a whole host of acts to grace the Venus decks, these include - MK (Twice), Route94, Breach, Hector Couto, Denney, Josh Butler + many more!

**THE MAGICIAN** The Magician is the alias of talented DJ/Producer, Stephen Fasano. One night not so long ago, he appeared from a place between space and time. Apparently he stepped into this world, materializing in a cloud of crystal stars and soft pink smoke. Some claim he’s a former airline pilot who crashed an afterparty – some say it’s all just an illusion, a well performed hoax.

Previously a member of revered Balearic disco duo, Aeroplane, he disembarked that flight and boarded his own magical carpet ride in 2010. He released his debut single ‘I Don’t Know What To Do’ on Kitsune in 2011, then joined forces with Peter (aka Yuksek) for three furthers EPs (Twist , Memory and On My Brain). However, most fans will probably know of The Magician for his killer remixes. Especially his remix of Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” in 2011 which has had over 36 Million views on Youtube and chart topping placings across Europe.

During this whole time he has also been capturing the imaginations of music fans with his Magic Tapes on Soundcloud. Every month he sifts through new music - exclusives from other artists plus music from fans - crafting these tracks into a new DJ mix tape. He’s done 34 so far! And let us not forget that all this work is backed up back by a busy touring schedule. Everywhere The Magician DJs people come under his spell.

He has more than one trick up his sleeve though; the mystery man has already improved his special formula by transforming the musical workings of others – but now he has created his very own brand of spectral sounds. The first of which have been transmogrified into the ‘When The Night Is Over’ EP. A bewitching selection of three dancefloor tracks which will be released on Parlophone this autumn. On the EP we have the moody synth teaser ‘Deep Volcano’; ‘Enchanted Land’ with its off-kilter 90’s House; and finally the flirtatious party starter and lead track ‘When The Night Is Over’ which is already being supported by key DJs - Busy P, Riva Starr, Todd Edwards, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Martin Solveig, Dubfire, Digitalism, Sound OF Stereo, DJ T, DJ EZ, Rustem, Boody Beetroots Quentin Harris,...

**SECOND CITY**Timeless with an underground edge. SecondCity have taken the DJ world by storm with their mysterious presence on the likes of Radio 1 with their first tune "Feel" premiering on Annie Macs show in December 2012.

Splitting their time between two locations. SecondCity are creating sounds with clear inspiration from the 90's house world , quickly gaining support from Disclosure, Huxley and Eats Everything to name a few.

2014 is sure to hold some exciting surprises from SecondCity following their recent success. Maybe even the revealing of the identity behind the name. Who knows?! But one thing we can be certain of, is that there are some unmissable releases to come.

Their latest smasher is entitled ''I Enter'' which is getting support from Eats Everything, Skream, Justin Martin, Annie Mac, Pete Tong to name a few.

The Venus Nightclub in Manchester, UK is the No 1 venue for house music clubbing across Manchester and 5 minutes walk from the Arndale Center, in Manchester’s City Centre. Boasting a Huge sound system and spectacular visual displays, it creates the perfect atmosphere we are looking for our events.
